Mix-Up Monday #9

Throwback decoration …

… I moved into my first own apartment in December. During the holidays the decoration was all Christmas themed – but afterwards ?? I had no clue what decoration I would like that much, so I would want it in my apartment for the rest of the year. Now I found a solution.

My aunt brought over some pictures from way back when about a week ago. Seeing all of the fun and fashion from when I was a kid brought back a lot of memories I cherish deeply – and then it hit me. Why not decorate the big wall with the wooden details in my living room with a bunch of old family photos?

On the weekend I started going through old family albums picking out my favorite pictures of all my beloved family members. My favorite three so far are the following picks.

First up is a picture of me and my mom when I was just two or three years old.

Next comes a photo of me and my little sister Nicole on one of our family camping trips.

But the picture I love the most is of my grandparents. I was lucky enough to spend a lot of quality time with my grandpa when I was a child and now I am living in the same house as my grandma.

Bringing all those memories back is bittersweet – family members who are no longer with us but also some who came and joined our crazy bunch. Taking all of this into my first own apartment with me is a definite must.

 I love you guys!
